Who are you

Simply, who are you?

Who are you?

 

Are you the little girl crying

hiding behind the door in the bathroom

Do you wish you were flying

high in the sky like a balloon

 

Are you the man who ponders

about your loss of a child

Do you ever wonder

and let your mind run wild

 

Are you the dog in tears

lying in the the middle of the street

Do you face your worst fears

as you can feel the suns heat

 

Are you the person writing

at your computer to the site

Do you ever give up fighting

when you know you lost the fight

 

Are you the words that speak

into the heart of your fans

Do you go out and seak

for the hidden bans

 

Are you the truth being said

to others in need that coo

Do you help them back into bed

and ask yourself, who are you?

 

Dedicated to those who have lost a love one or being.

I don't really know how to take this poem. I've read this a few times and it still just leaves me pondering. Which might be what you intended. I like how all of your poems, to me at least, seem to always address the reader. I like that, it's refreshing. Each stanza really just opens up a new door for me, a new way of thinking. The first stanza just hits me in the heart...because I really do imagine a little girl crying in a bathroom and that is just heart breaking. Keep up the great work!
